Chronicles of Narnia

Jack and I have been reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe off and on since before Christmas. We finished it last night. Jack was unbelievably excited and refused to go to bed till we made it through. It's exciting to see how much he loves to read, and as he just turned four, we were pretty impressed he made it through the book and without being scared.

As a reward, he got to see the rest of BBC version today as we started it last week. Both Jack and Audrey loved seeing Aslan for real, and I think they are hooked for life. Brings back great memories of reading favorite books over and over again...

Next up on the list? The Magician's Nephew...

Wintery Days of January

The joy of winter takes place with special rules and creative outlets for energy. We've seen lot's of imaginative play with Jack and Audrey who, during the last month, have highly enjoyed playing with each other. They build together, create trains and boats to travel around the house in, play house and just hang out. We've also enjoyed the snow outside, appreciated Jack and Audrey's help in the kitchen, and have enjoyed a few football games over dinner. Enjoy the recent pictures!

Jack's 4th Birthday

We had just our immediate family around to celebrate Jack's birthday, and then had some more festivities up in GR before Christmas. Enjoy some pictures from Jack's big day...4 years old!
